I got an email from Dunlop yesterday. "NEW! Dunlop Tire Product Videos." This subject line did not compel me to open it. I must have opened it by accident, but when I did I was shocked. Wait? Is that DMXS Radio's Kevin Kelly and David Izer?!?

Our annual team guide is in, and it has some gems.

I don't know if there's a way to reduce the amount of injuries in dirt bike racing. Always have been, always will be. But what if we could just reduce the severity? Yeah, everyone wants two strokes, but they're not coming back at the top level. Considering that, I have an idea that just might work: stuff a plate in the airboot and restrict intake air. Take away power. That’s it—make it a spec plate, have the officials put a swipe of paint over it in tech inspection so they can tell the seal has not been broken. Still get 450s, just ones with less power. Heck, do it in the 250 class, too. Engine guys can still develop a better mousetrap and make their restrictor-plate bike better than the other team’s restrictor-plate bike. Everything is the same as it is now, only with 25 percent less grunt. Tell me why this won't work? The racing will still look good. Jeremy McGrath had way less power than today’s racers but no one watched him ride a supercross track and thought he looked lame. If they’re all restricted, the will all look good. But maybe when someone steps off the way Roczen did last year, he will step off doing a fifty-foot double instead of a 70-foot triple, and he breaks his radius, instead of destroying his arm completely. Remember, you’re not going to reduce the amount of injuries, just the severity. Cole Seely would gladly take a broken tailbone right now instead of also sustaining fractures to his sacrum and the left and right sides of his pelvis. Jeez, man.

For decades, supercross riders have visited local media outlets in advance of races to sell some tickets and create new fans. Hardcore fans only see this unless they live local to the race. But the internet lets us see the full menu now. Check out Blake Baggett's superb sales pitch on why people should come to Tampa.

Block passes lead to two things: passing, and arguing! The next time a big block goes down, here's a handy guide to argue your point.

You know your wife's friend up the street that loves the drama and lives for the negative? She actually finds a positive feeling in finding out something is going sideways for others? Or, further, invents unfortunate scenarios of people screwing her over "for no reason"? Yeah, well, those people can't be helped. To solve their problems would be to give them the worst problem ever, which is not having any sort of problems to get attention.  I've developed an easy test to determine if someone is really having issues or if they're just creating bad juju to get attention. Use that "for no reason" quote above. If someone claims the deck is so stacked against them that their boss/spouse/significant other/kid's teacher/neighbor just has it out for them "for no reason" then you know they're making it up. No one is born that unlucky. This person either created that luck, or, more likely, went and pretended to have that luck, for attention. Some people just get bored and feed off this kind of stress. Joey Savatgy is not one of those people. He's just keeping his head down and trying to win. The stress finds him because he's trying to do the hardest thing of all--win championships. Once again he finds himself in a high-stress scenario.

Again, I'm happy that so many people are watching Monster Energy Supercross and sharing opinions and ideas. But we can't accept that all opinions are just opinions are are therefore correct. This week's ridiculous theory is that Jason Anderson started the first turn crash in San Diego PURPOSELY to put Eli Tomac and Ken Roczen down. Let's just make a rule right now: no rider purposely starts a first turn crash. Never.

We've had some great racing and a little drama early in this Monster Energy Supercross season and most people dig it. Some opinions, though... you know how social media works. You know how ridiculous the internet can be. Here's the worst theory we heard last week: Jason Anderson purposely high-fived Ken Roczen to hurt his arm???

I screwed up the grilled cheese, so maybe I need to go back to the beginning. Let's start with breakfast. I made pancakes for the kids and they came out... awesome. If you like pancake chips. And heart-shaped pancakes. For Valentines Day! So, let them eat cake! This is a piece of cake and also a cakewalk. Have your cake and eat it too by watching this video.

The Oakland SX was nuts, and I felt the only WWE Hall of Fame announcer Jim Ross could apply the right context. So we re-did the FS1 highlight reel with Ross providing the vocals. Or maybe it was just me? Either way, Bah Gawd, dammit all, it was a crazy night in Oakland and business damn sure just picked up. Watch these highlights now and you'll see.

This tough track versus easy track debate is an all-timer in not only this sport, but in any racing, ever. The debate isn't just about tracks; it's about the bigger picture. What makes for better racing? Trying to make things different to create separation among the competitors, or trying to make things similar so everyone can go the same speed?

I asked about it. So far, we've gotten nowhere!
